For 100 years, they have stood watch, for names we will never know.
In 1921, an unknown American soldier was laid to rest at Arlington, chosen to represent every service member lost without identification.
At first, the tomb wasn’t guarded. Visitors came and went freely, sometimes treating it more like a destination than a sacred place.
That changed on March 24, 1926.
Concerned by the lack of respect, Army leadership ordered a permanent military guard.
And for a century since, the soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment—The Old Guard—have carried that responsibility.
Through rain and snow. Day and night. 365 days a year.
Under strict conditions. They are precise, intentional, and unwavering.
Because this isn’t just a tomb.
It’s a promise: that those who gave everything, even without a name, will never be forgotten.
Happy Birthday to the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. Thank you for your dedication for the last 100 years.
